Nice boatline in the frame; water and beach parts good in 1/3 rule. Second boat nice in rythm.
Your second internal frame gives a feeling of looking through a beachbunker; nice depth effect.
Good seen and edited John / (h)eerlijk

Neat and bright colours and very innovatively framed John. A lovely thought for two lovely ladies from NZ. Though I would have liked you to leave some 'breathing space' around the baot
:-)) Take care

Only not; I think it's a pitty the front of the boat is a little out the picture. BUT.... it's a nice picture and I think our two Kiwi-girls will like it too.

Hi John,
I generally like anything to do with Sea, So I like this. As for your planned journy to NZ, you forgot Sri Lanka on the way! I could recommend interesting places to see and stay while you guys are passing through!

You really are becoming an expert a unique frames. I really like this one and I do like teh image too ...I guess its very tightly cropped and I agree with Koh on the USM/contrast part. But otherwise its really a fun image.. makes me want to jump on the boat and go away....TFS

Cette composition se suffit à elle-même. Très belle simplicité dans son exploitation. Le cadre est original. Bravo ! Annie

Hi John. Een mooie boot in een bizonder kader met een leuk verhaal. Het geheel geeft stof tot diverse op en aanmerkingen, Maar boeit altijd. Met kaders had ik al moeite maar deze geeft toch een hele speciale dimensie aan de foto. Als of er een diepte in de foto komt. Erg goed gedaan. Groet Frans.

Now I had a good laugh. You have to stop here at the Cape of Storms in that big boat of yours. And you say I live in a dream world. But it is a great dream.

Stunning frame and I like the tight crop it enhances the smallness of the boat. I'm still giggling.

Good morning to you Johnnie Tulip! And what a sight to wake up to - this tiny boat on it's way to AOTEAROA - Land of the Long White Cloud, aka NZ, Kiwiland.

Okay! Now, Dawn and I will be ready, awaiting your arrival. We're meeting up together this week, so we'll sort out the places for you to visit. You will be staying for at least all summer I hope.

Yes, bring ToM as ToM knows the way here and the good spots to visit.

And Josine, you won't neeed to swim - the boat looks fine!!:( I'm only pleased I won't have to travel on it!!

Let us know when you're departing... I'll send the helicopters out...

Thanks John
Kia ora
Janice

Haha! Quite funny John! Hope you don't sink with all those people in the boat ;)

I wish you all the best of times in your great adventure around the world!

BTW, very nice photo of these twe boats, I like the composition and the colour of the boats. I like the wide rectangular composition.

Cheers to you and don't forget your camera around the world :)

What a funny note, John. Thanks for a good laugh. :) Good luck on the trip. Don't forget to get a bunch of memory sticks to store pictures from the trip!

Now about the picture ... I like the colors. The frame is very cool and original. The boat's nose is a tad chopped off, but you've been told about it quite a few times above ... :)

Great idea John, but I think we should get a very large cruise ship to fit all the fantastic TL members. That way all crew needs will be covered, but most of all it will be a fantastic photographic gathering. Nice image but too small for our needs!
You are always a very active and humorous fellow member and a great person nice to be part of the crew.

nice shot john :)
good colors and composition, maybe needs a little USM & contrast...looks like a heavily cropped photo :)

good choice of frame for the image

i missed out on your note when i first commented on the photo John :P
thats a great idea :) but you'll need a much bigger boat for such a long journey :P i want to be on the Singapore-New Zealand leg too :)

Hi John
Jump on a much bigger boat please! Come and visit as soon as possible, the sky in SA is fantastic and clear. We will see lions and all about wild africa... ha ha ha

This is very good. Sharp and wonderful composition...but the frame is a bit much Teacher! That is my personal opinion.

Great story, John! I have seen from Dawn's post that I am to be on the next boat out of the Netherlands on the way to New Zealand, may I ask you to stop by the United States on the way? I'll be happy to meet you in Savannah, LOL!!

I like the photo - it is attractive and eye catching - I don't know why - but it is. Colours, boats, beach, frame all add to a very nice piece of work. Nicely done. As for New Zealand, I'd love to go, but it is so far away - one of these days when I retire I guess. Sam

Ahhhhhh so this is the dinghy that Janice and Dawn have asked me to help crew :). A sailor I am not, but I could supply copious amounts of berley for fishing. Nice colours John and I do so much like your frames.

Special here John are the combinations of two boat
melted together in a lovely beach scene. Very goor framing, a little heavy but still great!
